Day MMCXL, part III

There was a crowd of familiar faces gathered around the house, and more people were arriving just like us. I spotted Hatta, Aisha, and Daniel, all standing together on the side. I decided to head towards them, meanwhile, Tihana headed straight towards the house.

I was spotted on my way and the three came forward to meet me a bit faster.

- Good to see you back - said Hatta.

- I just came to bring the body back. I need to return by tomorrow. There are many things still happening out there - I replied, and then exchanged a handshake with everybody.

Aisha instead hugged me.

- How are you holding up? - she asked.

- It has been better - I confessed and tried to put a fake smile on my face, but I probably failed.

- If it cheers you up, we had some problems here too - said Daniel. - With you guys gone some people tried to get to power, so my hands were busy slapping them on their hands. Oh, and by some people I mean the friendly soldiers.
